Admissions Interviews

Village Community School requires the Application before registering for Admissions Appointments and will be conducting all appointments remotely.

Appointments for Kindergarten applicants will be approximately one hour long, and will be conducted via Zoom beginning September 2020. The Kindergarten Child Visit will take approximately 8-10 minutes with the parent(s) present, followed by a 35-40 minute School Tour. A Parent Interview and Q&A session will be conducted after the Tour.

Families applying to 1st Grade and above will also be seen remotely. School Tour and Parent Interview appointments will begin October 2020 and take approximately one hour. Applicants for Grades 1-7 will receive a reading and math assessment prior to their January 2021 Zoom appointment, where they will meet the Admissions team in small groups.

We look forward to getting to know your family.
